1. Pinchas (Normally when Mattos and Ma’asei are together, Haftaras Ma’atos is read during Parshas Pinchas)

2. Miketz (Normally Miketz is pushed aside cause it is Shabbos Chanukah, but if the first day of Chanukah falls out on a Friday, Miketz is Motzei Chanukah, and its Haftara is read)

3. Hmm, I think it is either Tazriah or Kedoshim.

I’m not sure if there even is a Haftara for Tazria. In a regular year it is combined with Metzorah, and Haftaras Metzorah is read. In a leap year, Tazriah is Parshas Hachodesh.

Kedoshim, when combined with Achrei Mos, Haftaras Achrei Mos is read. When seperate, if Haftaras Achrei Mos isn’t said (Shabbos HaGadol), there are opinions which state that Parshas Kedoshim still gets Haftaras Achrei Mos.
